sff and video cards.

[Gulzakar]

can any of the sff pc's handle an x800pro?

different models have different PS. Mine has a 350w.

Gulzakar, if you are talking about a shuttle sff, its 240W psu can handle up to an fx-55, 2 raptor hard drives, 2 gb of ram, an optical drive, an x800 xt pe, and a sound card. shuttle psu's are absolutely top notch. i would take a shuttle 240W psu over a 400W generic any day.

can you guys rec some good:

socket 478
socket 754
socket 939

sff pc's that will handle an x800pro?

754
939
not sure about intel. I would choose amd over intel!

My sn45g's have handled the 6800gt, 6800NU and the 6600gt respectively.

they can all easily handle an x800 pro. the x800 pro uses just about as much power as teh 9800 pro.

I know the 6800GT consumes less power than the x800 but the system in my sig works great with the shuttle PS in my sn95G5 (even with the cpu/video card overclocked some)

I'm running the eVGA 6800gt in my shuttle sb61g2v3. I probably would not reccomend it now though because it's 478 pin so upgradability is pretty much out of the question in a year or so.

the new amd 64 939 pin ones are gonna run you $300(240watt)-$375(350w), but i'm sure they're well worth it. They don't lose their valuse as fast as other pc cases. I had 2 of the one i have now and i just sold it online for $65 less then I paid for everything 5 months ago.

If this helps at all, here's my rig:

p4 3.2 prescott running at 3.606ghz
eVG 6800gt
1 gb corsair ram
nec 16x dvd burn
1 WD raptor 74 gig

runs like a charm.

Go Shuttle, THEY WON'T LET YOU DOWN and their service is top of the line.

well, thats entirely wrong. as a matter of fact, the 6800 gt consumes more power then even the x850 xt platinum edition. nvidia's 68xx series video cards are far less efficient then ati's x8xx series cards, but they both perform extremely well competitively.
